Fiorentina have reportedly set a deadline for their quest to sign Genoa star Albert Gudmundsson, while Inter Milan are anxiously keeping close tabs on the situation.
The Nerazzurri have been tracking the Icelandic star for several months. However, they haven’t been able to launch an onslaught just yet.
The Italian champions would first have to make room on the wage bill and in the squad by selling the attacking deadwood.
This includes the likes of Joaquin Correa, Martin Satriano, Eddie Salcedo, and perhaps even Marko Arnautovic.
Until then, Beppe Marotta and Co could only watch the developments from afar.
In recent weeks, Fiorentina emerged as the new favorites to sign Gudmundsson. The Viola even secured agreements with Genoa and the player’s entourage.
However, the Grifone are refusing to sell the striker before securing a capable replacement.
As reported earlier today, Genoa are negotiating a move for Wolves striker Fabio Silva.
If the Portuguese forward were to land in the Italian Port City, he could well unlock the Gudmundsson operation.
Nevertheless, Il Corriere dello Sport (via FcInterNews) reveals that Fiorentina are running out of patience.
Hence, the Tuscans have set an ultimatum that expires by the start of the Serie A campaign this weekend.
The Viola would reportedly drop their interest in the Iceland international if Genoa refuse to release him before this deadline.
This would be a major boost for Inter who remain keen to sign the striker who was one of the best revelations of the previous Serie A campaign.
The Nerazzurri have recently rekindled their interest in Gudmundsson, offering Arnautovic as an exchange pawn.
Moreover, the Roman newspaper claims that Inter’s revived desire to sign the Genoa star has shaken Fiorentina’s confidence in their ability to seal the deal.
